Article Abstract:
The European Union Directive on electromagnetic compatibility, effective Jan 1, 1996, does not contain integral standards. Instead it simply states that electromagnetic disturbances should not exceed a level at which radio and telecommunication equipment can operate as intended. The UK National Measurement and Accreditation Scheme implemented these standards. Manufacturing companies will be required to make a Declaration of Conformity or a Technical Construction File (TCF). An Association of Competent Bodies will form committees to approve the TCF.

Article Abstract:
The European Union (EU) Directive on Machinery Safety which came into effect on Jan 1, 1995, should have a noticeable influence on all companies. According to the Directive, all equipment coming into EU countries should meet the specific regulations and bear the CE Mark. Any default could mean a fine of up to 5,000 pound sterling or a three-month imprisonment. Through the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1992, existing machinery users are also subject to the safety regulations.
